Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 93

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator is configuring a Citrix ADC high availability (HA) pair. The administrator needs to ensure that one Citrix ADC is UP and primary at all times to guarantee that business websites are always available.

In the event that both nodes become unavailable or fail a health check, what does the administrator need to do to ensure that the Citrix ADCs still handle web traffic?

Answer options

• A. Configure HA fail-safe mode on the primary Citrix ADC only.
• B. Disable HA fail-safe mode on each Citrix ADC independently.
• C. Configure HA fail-safe mode on each Citrix ADC independently.
• D. Disable HA fail-safe mode on the primary Citrix ADC only.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because configuring HA fail-safe mode on each Citrix ADC independently allows them to manage web traffic even if one or both nodes fail. Options A and D only configure the primary ADC, which does not provide redundancy for the secondary node. Option B disables the fail-safe mode, preventing any traffic management during failures.
